My Mission

"Don't aim at success the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run, I say, success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it." - Viktor E. Frankl

This photo was taken in Queenstown, New Zealand at a teapot bar. They fill teapots with cocktails that make you dizzy. I must have been a little tipsy in that photo, but I was definitely happy. I’m taking a selfie with Annika and Shannon. They were 2 pretty cool gals on my Contiki trip.

I’ve accepted that I’m going through a lot with life in general. There’s being stuck in a degree you see no future in, there’s parental resentment, there’s the want to be a rebel without a cause, there’s a want to be beautiful, but deep inside, I just want to be me. Sometimes in life, you just have to stick it out because one day, all your hard work will pay off. As they say, “there’s light at the end of the tunnel.” It’s waiting for you, but first you must tackle some of life’s obstacles. Sometimes, in the dark. It’s hard when you’re longing for guidance, support and reinforcement that you’re on the right track. We’re all human, and sometimes we go through a few lows on this roller coaster called life. What gets us through is knowing that, you won’t always be on that low on that roller coaster ride. For it will go high and above, and make you feel butterflies (the good type) when you finally reach that high. There’s work to be done, D. Just get through it. Push through because you know you’re better than what people think. Inside you know you’ve got this. Find that faith. It’s there.

“And hard times are good in their own way, too. Because the only way you can achieve true happiness is if you experience true sadness as well. It’s all about light and shade. Balance.” ― Gabrielle Williams, Beatle Meets Destiny

“Difficult times will come.” It’s a fact of life, isn’t it? There are good times and bad times in everybody’s life.” ― Raj Kosaraju

Happiness comes in small forms. I like this video because it’s very me. Those things in life that reflect who you truly are inside, will give you the greatest joys in life because for a moment in your life, you don’t have to try so hard at being happy.

I hate my mother. There I said it. I hate the way she speaks to me. She makes me feel like a failure. Then there’s my dad, he’s stuck in his own negative thinking and behaviour. The two of them are balls of fire. I know I can only take them in small doses, and while I know that right now is not the time to move out, I know that this too will pass. I can’t let my emotions get the best of me because I’m better than that. I’m too free-spirited and cheerful. When I’m around them, I feel like I have to hide my true self – you know the one I really like. Someone who has so much positivity, happiness and good will. It is a sad feeling to think that the ones who are meant to love you the most, are the ones who make you feel the worst. Things won’t always be this way, and one day I’ll make something of myself.
